Tomato and Green Chili Quesadillas or Soft Tacos

Highlighting the flavor of green chilies and fresh tomatoes, these quesadillas or tacos make a great warm-weather meal.

  • 2 medium-firm flavorful tomatoes,

  • thinly sliced

  • Two 4-ounce or one 7-ounce can

  • chopped mild green chilies

  • Minced fresh cilantro to taste, optional

  • 4 soft taco-size (8- to 10-inch)

  • flour tortillas

  • 1 to 14 cups grated cheddar

  • or cheddar-style soy cheese

  • 1. To make quesadillas, preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the tomatoes, chilies, and optional cilantro on the entire surface of 2 tortillas. Sprinkle with the cheese, and cover with the remaining tortillas. Arrange them on a nonstick griddle on both sides until golden. Cut each quesadilla into 4 equal wedges, allowing 2 wedges per serving, and eat out of hand.

  • 2. To make soft tacos, arrange a single layer of tomato slices over one half of each tortilla, and sprinkle with the chilies, cheese, and optional cilantro. Arrange on individual plates. Heat each serving briefly in the microwave (about 1 minute) or preheated 400°F oven (about 3 minutes) to melt the cheese, then fold over. Eat at once with a knife and fork or cut into 2 wedges and eat out of hand.
